Bowie boys win the Cottonfield Classic tournament
The Bowie Jackrabbits went on an undefeated run at their first tournament to win the championship.
The Jackrabbits went 4-0 at the Roosevelt’s Cottonfield Classic in Lubbock, playing teams they are unfamiliar with as coaches wanted to get outside of the Wichita Falls bubble.
Bowie played 2A school Floydada and beat down the Whirlwinds 70-35. Adam Pickett led the team with 18 points while Rayder Mann was right behind him with 15 points. Nick Salazar and Gaige Goodman each had 10 points as well.
The Jackrabbits played 3A school Coahoma in a game that was a bit closer, though Bowie led the whole time and the Bulldogs’ later push made the final score closer than it actually was 58-42.
Boston Farris and Mann led the team with 15 points apiece while Goodman added 12 points.
The third game the Bowie News did not receive a score or stats from the coach, but the team did win the game.
The win put the Jackrabbits into the championship game where they played 2A school Hale Center. Bowie’s defense limited the Owls to only eight points in the first half which allowed the Jackrabbits to build a big lead and run away with the game. Bowie won easily 57-35 to secure the tournament championship.
Mann led the way with 27 points in three quarters while Tyler Richey had seven points.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
